The outpour of gracious birthday wishes from all of you has been far beyond my expectations.
I truly appreciate your gesture. The gift of even a moment of your time and kind thoughts are invaluable.
I will get round to responding to all the lovely comments that were sent my way. It’s unlike me to delay in responding, but it’s been a hectic weekend with my young son under the weather, dashing in and out of the hospital and trying to have a little birthday time as well.
Well on a sweet note, I saved a slice of cake for you, so do have one slice of virtual cake on my behalf 🙂
Secondly, I want to ask a quick question with regards to the posts links that I have been featuring daily.
I like to take stock and review my actions as much as possible and would like to know if it has been useful in any form?
Then finally to THE INVITATION, I will be hosting a PRE-EASTER BRUNCH this weekend and you are cordially invited to the Easter egg hunt, mingling, connecting and blog-hopping.
The last shindig held in this abode was popping hot and we all had a good time. I hope this will be equally as delightful, if not better 🙂
Do say ‘aye’ if you are keen on it and YOUR invaluable inputs are welcome on how we can make it beautiful together.
My kindest regards and thank you once again.

We ended up at emergency with very high fever and throwing up. He had to have IV fluids and several tests and we were kept over so he could be monitored. I pray all is well. Thank you Diane.

When your life is already full, something has to give when there is sickness in the family. Bloggers can wait. Regarding the links, I have tried to follow up on some of them, but haven’t had time for many. You always make them seem inviting. Thanks for making way for me also. I’ll check in on some Easter celebration. But maybe I better not eat to many of your chocolate Easter bunnies.

Could be a viral gastroenteritis. With the IV fluids he should be ok but it is really scary to see a child vomit frequently and not able to keep anything inside. I have just been through this.
Hold on to the faith, Jackie.
With prayers,
